Good ol' wooden Victor "snap" trap and peanut butter for bait. Works every time, the little suckers love peanut butter.

Thanks I'll give it a shot. Hopefully I don't see the peanut butter around lunch time when I'm getting hungry myself
The best way to get revenge? Teach them how to detail. They'll spend the rest of their life worrying about the condition of their car.

The shop is coming together nice ! I really like the ceiling height, my Cobalt 242 bow rider could fit in there for its yearly buff n polish.

Accidental bucket trap? Lol. I use a 5 gal bucket trap and can get a dozen out at our farm/barn.

Thanks! And the ceilings are 12' 3" high. When the shop was being built I wanted to make sure it could fit a lift. I was planning on buying a 2 post lift someday before I realized it would basically make half the shop useless for detailing as it'd be a PITA to work around said lift lol.

Damn, didn't realize that a bucket could be such an effective killing machine lol. I'm just glad I spotted it before it turned to mouse stew.
I'm suspecting there may be a third mouse in the shop. I noticed all the peanut butter on my traps has gone missing in action. I fear the war isn't over yet.

Yep. You can make a very effective one out of a 5 gal bucket, soda can and a coat hanger, etc. YouTube is your friend. Just look up Bucket Trap.

The day after I bought my mouse traps I was setting them up when I found out some bad news. Cheesers passed away.
He died doing what he loved. Swimming in my drain bucket for the hot water heater.
I didn't end up setting my traps up until a week later when I saw a friend of his dart by me.
I started off with 2 traps to no avail. Then I upped the stakes and put down 6 traps. Within 15 minutes I heard a snap and got em.
Haven't seen a mouse since then.
Upstairs was finally spray foamed. Drywall will be coming in a week or so.
Business wasn't great for a stretch, especially so around the election. I think people just had other things on their mind. It's picked up since then to a respectable level which I'm cool with. I think I needed some extra time off from detailing after how busy summer was.
It's like they say when life gives you lemons you make the best of it.
I haven't really posted much because I've been living next to my Jeep trying to finish it for the winter. I was all done with it till I found out the rust in the rear had gotten too bad to pass inspection.
I basically chopped out the entire rear and have been fabricating a new one. New frame rails, new shock crossmember, new gas tank mount, and more. For anyone interested I wrote up a detailed series on it
I got it to the point where it was driveable so I could get it to the shop for an alignment. Felt so weird having that half of the
shop empty for a day.
That's really it for now. I'll share pics of the drywall when it's up.
I hope you gave Jerry mouse a Christian burial. The transformation on the truck floor was amazing. Did you have to use an extractor?
